Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We took a private evening cruise for our honeymoon on their lovely old fishing boat. The crew were attentive but discreet allowing us time to snorkel and relax at the waters edge. They set up a beach table and then left us alone staying out of the way so we felt completely alone as the sun set.
Absolutely amazing and an experience we will never forget.
Well done 👍

We did a private charter with Vassili and Peter and had an excellent day pottering about, stopping to swim, looking for Patrick the turtle (who decided to play hide and seek), had an excellent lunch on board and an educational time handling starfish, octopus, sea urchin and the like that Vassili caught and brought on board. They were all released back into the sea unharmed of course. If you are in fFscardo, this is trip well worth your time and expense.

A lovely chilled day with several opportunities to swim in lovely clear bays only accessible by boat .The boat can take 17 people but on our day there were only 7 …..so consequently we had lots of space .Even with 17 people I feel it would not be crowded .
Lovely homemade simple lunch and lots of soft drinks and beer ( super cold !)
All in All really fun

We organised an evening sunset cruise with Ionian Discoveries and had an incredible time! Vasilis and Pierre who took us were a delight and after swimming with turtles (what a thrill) we enjoyed lovely food and drink on board before heading back to Fiskardo as the sun set - an unforgettable time, thankyou! x

09.30 start - coffee at the nearby taverna whilst waiting. A full complement of guests, this was a brilliant day. Our crew was amazing, personable and knowledgeable. Several opportunities to swim, beach/shoreline comb. Turtles ahoy near the fish farm too. Magic! Lunch was sufficient, the swimming fantastic with flippers and masks provided. 17.00 return to port - in time for a luxurious dessert along the harbour side.

My husband and 10 year old daughter had a fabulous last day of our holiday, stopping off at little bays, snorkelling in crystal clear water, and we even got to swim close to Bruce the loggerhead turtle which was incredible. Vasili was extremely knowledgable about the marine life and was able to find starfish and urchins to show us. A light, fresh lunch was provided. It was a perfect way to end our Kefalonian adventure!

Had an amazing day with our two older teens. Vasili and all staff were brilliant. Lovely lunch in a beautiful bay. Fantastic snorkelling- loads of fish and saw octopus and sea turtles. Brilliant day out.

A fantastic day sailing between Fiscardo and Ithaca. We stopped at picturesque bays, snorkelling and relaxing. The crew were brilliant, sharing their marine knowledge and history of the area. A perfect lunch was had while anchored at a secluded inlet followed by search for turtles, one was spotted but did not want to be photographed.

We hired the boat for our last night on holiday and had such a lovely evening. Fabio and Vasili made us very welcome with lovely fresh platters, Prosecco., beers and soft drinks. We had a lovely lesson in the history of Greece, Fiscardo and Ithaka with lots of interesting facts about geology, earthquakes, history and politics, before a beautiful swim (snorkels and flippers provided) and a delightful sunset cruise back to Fiscardo. Highly recommended.
